Confirmed: Samsung’s Evolution Kit to return in 2015

It wasn’t mentioned during the Samsung CES presser, but older TVs will be upgradeable, as Samsung confirms to us that the Evolution Kits will make an appearance in 2015.

Remember Samsung’s “Evolution Kit” concept, the idea that promised to make TVs sold from 2012 still just as modern as their newer siblings being brought into this world? If you don’t, the idea was basically a hardware patch that you could stick on the back of TVs bought from Samsung’s Series 7, Series 8, and Series 9 televisions, a patch that would essentially include some new hardware and upgrade some of the software to make your old TV work a little like the new TVs being released.

You wouldn’t get a new panel from the gadget, but it could speed up the processing hardware while also delivering a new software experience, making that slightly older TV still feel new, a bit like giving your car a new radio and some of that fresh new car smell we all like so much.
